A Manhattan variation from PDT in NYC that is one of my earliest/most favored stirred “Fall” drink variations The Apple Brandy and slightly more fruity/less vanilla forward vermouth work together wonderfully while the Maraschino adds a bit of funk and the Fernet a touch of bitterness and intriguing menthol in the background 2 oz Bonded (100 proof) Apple Brandy (Laird’s is the OG and best here) 1 oz Sweet Vermouth (fruitier, more wine forward vermouths like Cocchi Torino or Vya are best here) .25 oz Maraschino Liqueur .25 oz Fernet (Contratto is my favorite but Fernet Branca also works great here) Stir with ice and strain into a chilled coupe. No garnish #FridayFavs #FallFavs
